put out the word at work a while ago I was looking for a used 20 gallon tank - today a coworker shows up with a long 20 (30" x 12" x 12") a working light, 2 whisper 40 hob filters, a full box of mesh bags (filter cartridges) and charcoal, w pumps that work, 2 not out of the box impellors, a ton of beautiful "cavey" decor, some coral (fake) and some anemones (fake), 3 heaters, one not even out of the box and a couple of floating thermometers - tank is in the bathtub full of water to check for leaks - an hour has passed and so far so good! Merry Christmas to me! oh, did I mention FREE!

That sounds great! I wish I could get that much stuff for free! I had to pay $70 and drive 60 miles just for my used 40 gallon.
Congrats!

If it makes you feel any better, my dad drove from Pittsburgh to Chicago to get a good deal on a car motor! In December! Right before Christmas! I still think he's crazy.

You're right then. It isn't that bad. I could have paid $300 at a petstore. Why didn't your dad just go to a local store with a low price? lol
